For the first time ever, award-winning mystery author Brendan DuBois has assembled the six prize-winning short stories featuring retired black ops expert Owen Taylor. Four of these stories first appeared in “Playboy” magazine, with the initial story, “The Dark Snow,” being nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award, and later appearing in numerous anthologies, including “The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century.”
This unique anthology also includes:
— Author forward and afterward
— Publication history of each story
— Author insight on how each story was written and published
— Plus a never-before-published Owen Taylor story, “The High Ground”
“The first time I read “The Dark Snow,” I found it almost unbearingly suspenseful and immediately selected it for “The Best American Mystery Stories of the Year.” It stayed with me so powerfully that a few years later I used in “The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century.” It is impossible for me to overpraise this utterly brilliant story.” –Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop
